These days, the sentiment of anyone who doesn't know how to code being destined to a life of homeless ineptitude has become a fairly common (if mildly exaggerated) one. But of all the ways out there to save yourself from a derelict fate, Jon Duckett's HTML and CSS: Design and Buil Websites, is, perhaps, the most… »4/24/13 1:40pm 4/24/13 1:40pm

Netflix currently uses Microsoft's Silverlight plugin to run its streams. It's an inelegant solution that sometimes makes for subpar and bogged down streaming experiences.

Sometimes a browser needs to leave a little data on your computer, just a little 5-10KB nibblit, a cookie. HTML5 is a hungrier beast than that which came before it though, and sometimes wants a little more. Maybe 5MB or so. But that's where it should end. Thanks to a little HTML5 vulnerability, however, this site can… »2/28/13 5:20pm 2/28/13 5:20pm

I know there are times when you're cruising down the Internet highway, looking for a laugh as your hair is being blown back by AC when you stumble upon something so annoying that you start shaking your monitor and hope that it just blows up. It happens to all of us. We never do anything. But now you can. »7/06/12 5:20pm 7/06/12 5:20pm

Adobe has a new Muse—graphic designers. While "Muse" is just a working title, the beta of the graphic design software has gone live which lets users work around the fact they don't know a scrap of code. »8/15/11 2:20am 8/15/11 2:20am

Proving that sometimes the best games are the simplest, the boules-like game Olo works in the browser for iPad and iPhone thanks to CSSS3 and HTML5, but Android users can also download it here. [Olo via SwissMiss] »8/09/11 4:05am 8/09/11 4:05am

Adobe's Edge is a new animation tool that outputs pure HTML5. It has great potential and it will take over Flash for simple to medium projects. However, I wouldn't be surprised if this kills Flash forever in the long run. »8/01/11 3:38am 8/01/11 3:38am

Pandora just switched from Flash to HTML5 for its fetching redesign, but that's not the real news. The biggest thing about the change is that Pandora is different inside and out, its functionality now rooted firmly in being social. »7/12/11 11:00pm 7/12/11 11:00pm

From now on, any video you upload to YouTube will be transcoded into Google's WebM codec, joining the "videos that make up 99% of views on the site or nearly 30% of all videos." Google explains it to the non-tech savvy folk like so: »4/20/11 11:21am 4/20/11 11:21am

...everywhere except IE9 and Opera. But all the rest are invited to sign up for a closed beta of TweetDeck's no-download-needed HTML5 client. The features and UI are the same as the Chrome plug-in (sans streaming). [TweetDeck via TechCrunch] »4/06/11 5:20pm 4/06/11 5:20pm

Who knows why Adobe named its Adobe Air tool "Wallaby" (it hops along?), but this "experimental technology" promises to let you reuse .FLA files by converting it to HTML5 for devices that don't support it. Like iPads. There will obviously be some features missing (such as video, sound and 3D transforms), but it's… »3/08/11 6:30am 3/08/11 6:30am

With all the hype surrounding HTML5, the latest web standard has become a bit self-conscious of its designation. Therefore, it demands that you just refer to it—and all future iterations—as HTML. Got it? »1/21/11 11:40pm 1/21/11 11:40pm
